A well known man about town stepped
into Harry Hubbards Grotto the other day
and calling for whisky, filled the glass to
overiioEing and drank IL with apparent
relish. Handing Harry dime he started to
leave tie place, when the rusty haired

The county generally is in a very pros
porous condition this year. and at no place
in the wess is this more plainly apparent
than in Grand RspiGs. There is no infa-
iion in prices. there is no mushroom boom,
but quiet, steady advancement both in
business and in wages Where year or
two ago there were hundreds of able bodied
men cut Of employment. there Is today n
s.arcify help in every quarter. Iflabor
and capital will take hold together and trot
aioag in double harness without either at
tempting to kick over ths traces, Grand
Rapids viii witness growth this year un-
